Measuring bias against childfree women
Objective This study describes the development of the Bias Against Childfree Women (BAC‐W) scale. Background Previous work on childfree women has relied largely on qualitative assessments and vignette methods, limiting broader empirical inquiry. A validated survey‐based measure is needed to expand methodological tools and deepen understanding of bias toward childfree women. Methods Participants were 603 nationally representative U.S. adults (51% …
The Relationship Between Latent Profiles of Physical Development and Body Perception in Adolescent Girls and Self‐Esteem
Adolescence is a critical period for the development of body perception and self‐esteem, particularly among girls undergoing pubertal changes. This study aimed to identify distinct latent profiles of physical development and body perception among Korean adolescent girls and to examine whether social media use moderates the association between these profiles and self‐esteem. Participants were 594 Korean adolescent girls, M age = 14.27 years, range…
Epigenetic age acceleration and reproductive outcomes in women
Protective effect of parental monitoring on early-to-mid adolescents displaying high-level and increasing aggressive behavior
Studies that distinguish parental monitoring (parent-driven behaviors) from parental knowledge often fail to find protective effects of monitoring on adolescent behavior problems. To answer whether parental monitoring is more strongly associated with adolescent behavior problems among adolescents who may need it most, this study applied group-based trajectory modeling to change in early- to mid-adolescent aggressive behavior problems and examined…
Direct and Indirect Longitudinal Associations of Mother and Father Engagement in Middle Childhood on Adolescent Externalizing and Internalizing Behaviors
Mothering versus fathering? Positive parenting versus negative parenting? Their relative importance in predicting adolescent aggressive behavior
To understand whose parenting (mothers vs. fathers) and which type of parenting (warmth vs. hostility) is more important in predicting adolescent aggression, this study applied dominance analysis to evaluate the relative importance of four different parenting dimensions (maternal hostility, paternal hostility, maternal warmth, and paternal warmth). Four waves of adolescent-reported longitudinal data from the PROSPER project ( N = 626, 52% adolesc…
Longitudinal Within-Family Association Between Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Aggressive Behaviors
This study using PROSPER data ( N = 977, age 11.5 to age 15) investigated the longitudinal within-family associations between parent-reported parental monitoring and adolescent aggression. Importantly, this study is the first one to examine parent gender and adolescent gender differences on these within-family associations. Results differed between mothers and fathers. There was a negative, bidirectional within-family association between maternal…
Longitudinal Discrepancy in Adolescent Aggressive Behavior Problems
Longitudinal Links between Adolescent and Peer Conduct Problems and Moderation by a Sensitivity Genetic Index
The most extensively studied influence on adolescent conduct problem behaviors is peers, and the literature points to genetics as one source of individual differences in peer influence. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an environmental sensitivity genetic index comprised of DRD4, 5-HTTLPR, and GABRA2 variation would moderate the association between peer and adolescent conduct problems. Latent growth modeling was applied t…
Developmental Change in Adolescent Delinquency
The effects of fathers on daughters’ expectations for men
Guided by paternal investment theory (PIT), the current research examines the effects of fathers on daughters' expectations for men in adulthood, and the role of these expectations in mediating women's short-term (casual or uncommitted) sexual behavior. Using a genetically informed differential sibling-exposure design (N = 223 sister pairs from divorced/separated families), we found that developmental exposure to low-quality paternal behavior (bu…
Genetic and environmental contributions to age at menarche
Impact of fathers on parental monitoring of daughters and their affiliation with sexually promiscuous peers
Girls who receive higher quality fathering engage in less risky sexual behavior (RSB) than their peers. Previous research identifies higher levels of parental monitoring/knowledge and reduced affiliation with deviant peers as potential mediators of this observed fathering effect. Although paternal investment theory posits a causal effect of fathers on daughters' RSB, and on the intervening processes that mediate this effect, these relations could…

Interparental Relationship Sensitivity Leads to Adolescent Internalizing Problems
Several studies have established that child interparental conflict evaluations link parent relationship functioning and adolescent adjustment. Using differential susceptibility theory and its vantage sensitivity complement as their framework, the authors examined differences between adolescents who vary in the DRD4 7 repeat genotype (i.e., 7+ vs. 7−) in how both interparental conflict and positivity affect adolescents' evaluations of interparenta…
Looking Forward in Candidate Gene Research
Candidate Gene × Environment (cGxE) interaction research holds promise for helping us understand for whom and why environments matter for families and development. In their commentary on our target article (G. L. Schlomer, G. M. Fosco, H. H. Cleveland, D. J. Vandenbergh, & M. E. Feinberg, 2015), J. E. Salvatore and D. M. Dick (2015) present their view of the current state and future of cGxE research and frame the debate regarding its merits for a…
Sex-specific pathways to early puberty, sexual debut, and sexual risk taking
The current study tested sex-specific pathways to early puberty, sexual debut, and sexual risk taking, as specified by an integrated evolutionary-developmental model of adolescent sexual development and behavior. In a prospective study of 238 adolescents (n = 129 girls and n = 109 boys) followed from approximately 12-18 years of age, we tested for longitudinal relations between ecological stressors, family relationships, pubertal maturation, self…
Beyond cumulative risk
Drawing on life history theory, Ellis and associates' (2009) recent across- and within-species analysis of ecological effects on reproductive development highlighted two fundamental dimensions of environmental variation and influence: harshness and unpredictability. To evaluate the unique contributions of these factors, the authors of present article examined data from a national sample 1364 mothers and their children participating in the NICHD S…
Best practices for missing data management in counseling psychology.
This article urges counseling psychology researchers to recognize and report how missing data are handled, because consumers of research cannot accurately interpret findings without knowing the amount and pattern of missing data or the strategies that were used to handle those data. Patterns of missing data are reviewed, and some of the common strategies for dealing with them are described. The authors provide an illustration in which data were s…
Mother-Child Conflict and Sibling Relatedness
Parent–offspring conflict theory (POCT) has been underutilized in studies of human family dynamics. An implication of POCT is that the presence of siblings will increase conflict in biological parent–child dyads, and that half siblings will increase that conflict more than full siblings. Evidence consistent with this prediction was found in a longitudinal study of 236 early adolescent children and their mothers. Following parental disruption, the…
